Abstract:

A dietary supplement system including three general components is provided. The first component is the fatty acid component and this includes sunflower seeds (containing omega 6 fatty acids), flax seed (containing omega 3 fatty acids) and powdered oils (containing omega 3 or omega 6 fatty acids and generally produced from sunflower oils). The weight ratio of omega 6 fatty acids to omega 3 fatty acids is 10:1 to 1:1, with 10:1 to 5:1 being preferred for normal animals and 2:1 to 1:1 being preferred for animals which have fatty acid responsive conditions. The second component is the GI component, which is used for facilitating animal gut health. This component includes prebiotics, probiotics and immunoglobulin (typically from albumin concentrate). The third component is the breed specific component and can include vitamins, minerals, additional fatty acids, antioxidants, amino acids, palatants, and nutraceutical additives.
